Twinkle twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are…Yes, never has a nursery rhyme terrified so many.

From today until 5th September (that’s five weeks this time) all our PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to download Dead Space 2 as part of their subscription.

And with that, let’s roll film…

Special thanks go out to EA Games for their support in bringing this fantastic blend of action and survival horror to our members.

Engineer Isaac Clarke returns for the sequel to the critically acclaimed Dead Space. After waking from a coma in a massive space city known as The Sprawl, the lone survivor of a horrific alien infection finds himself confronting a catastrophic new nightmare. Not only that but he’s also battling dementia, is being hunted by the government and is haunted by visions of his dead girlfriend.

And what where would we be without a massive 50% off all the associated DLC for our Game of the Month? For the next two weeks you can grab the ‘Severed’ expansion, and three extra special weapons and suit packs for Dead Space 2 at half price. Simply pick up any of them you like when you go to claim your game from the Plus section on the Store.

Not played the original Dead Space? May I suggest you pick it up from the Store if you’d like to visit Isaac’s earlier adventure? Alternatively, in the Trailers section you’ll find a video to help you catch up on the Dead Space story events prior to Dead Space 2.

BUT WAIT! There’s more…

As some of you already know, I have promised you all some exciting extras this month and the first of these comes in the shape of a game brand new to SCEE PlayStation Store – Rock of Ages from Atlus.

A rock-solid combination of rock-rolling action, deep strategy, and captivating art and music from different ages of history, this is a game of crush or be crushed! Two castles stand opposed; one is yours, the other is your enemy’s. They’re jerks and their castle sucks, so you’re going to try to smash it using an enormous boulder. Even as they build up their defenses, you’re ready to roll over them in order to raze that unsightly tower. But beware! There’s a giant boulder headed your way, too.

Rock of Ages is available at no-cost for the next four weeks (until 29th August) and is not part of the usual rotation for Plus members – it’s an added extra for all our subscribers this August. That means come the mid-month update you still have two more fantastic titles to grab for Your Instant Game Collection.

And that’s not the end of it! There’s EVEN more to come, including extra value especially for Plus members on Andy’s fantastic Summer special offers, launch discounts on a selection of new titles and a few more special bits and pieces to come to light later in the month.

I will be back on 15th August, during gamescom 2012 with two more games for Your Instant Game Collection to replace Darksiders and Renegade Ops, both of which have only two weeks left as part of YIGC.

I’ll also have a launch date for the very first of our PlayStation Plus Presents indie titles, Retro/Grade!

Autobots, roll out! Get a taster of Activision’s latest Transformers game in Transformers: Fall of Cybertron.

Play as Bumblebee and Vortex as you fight your way through two exciting chapters of the Transformers: Fall of Cybertron game. Then take the fight online with Team Deathmatch and Conquest multiplayer modes, and get a sneak peak at the new character creator.

The much awaited Rock of Ages comes out today which will also be included in PS Plus. There’s also Puddle for PS Vita that I know some folks were asking about last week.

For DLC check out those adorable Disney Princess costumes for LittleBigPlanet 2. If adorable isn’t your thing, then perhaps fighting spirit is – check out extra characters for Street Fighter x Tekken. New fighters include Bryan Fury, Lei Wulong and one of my favourites, Guy.

Andy’s Summer Sale also begins today which you can find by clicking right here. Titles on offer range from LA Noire to Toy Story 3, so hopefully there’s something there for all.

Think I will subcribe just for that dlc offer as well as the additional discounts on the sales items as well as the freebies!

Plus has finally got it right. Remember a year ago? I shudder at the thought of how Plus used to be.

Will try out Dead Space 2, but in the last 3 updates none of the games i've enjoyed but the previous plus updates there was always games i would enjoy. Assume something will come up soon i'll enjoy but not been too happy.

This just keeps getting better and better. I have to say a year ago the games from some months would not excite me but I've had my moneys worth with plus over the year. However if the current layout keeps up it will be a lot more worth it than the old plus and certainly a lot better than paying for xbox live which I'm starting to think about not keeping now as you dont really get anything beyond the online play.

I'm sure they only changed as companys were more willing to do this and make an increase from dlc and also so people couldn't play them on PSP/Vita :(

I got one of the £140 deals from Amazon a little while back - it is sat under my Samsung SMART 3D all singing all dancing TV being used as a plain Media Server (and very good at that it is)

All I want is to be entered into the dark realm so I can play a game or two!

I've no doubt this is a good deal - for some who know how to benefit from it

I have refrained from voting

Agree, Got a few games for my vita that i really like but not got back to the use i had from it at first, saying that i've not really been playing any games at the moment so possibly why. Think in a years time with classics support, cheaper games and more games then this will be a lot better.

PS Plus has been amazing since I got it - theres been some quality games dished out for free. Dead Space 2 is awesome, but probably not quite as good as the first.
Sadly I spend more time downloading games for the PS3, rather than being able to find the time to play them...
